Although I was raised in a denomination that believes justification by faith alone, I personally believe yes, we most certainly are commanded to help others, and to show Christian love to others.
To me it is very clear in the scriptures, but the problem may stem from some who don't really read the Bible for themselves. Too many people just accept whatever they are taught without checking it out in the word of God. Sad about the people you mentioned in your post. I can't understand thinking like that!
That's good. You struck me as the kind of person that liked to help others.

Yes, it's sad. I don't understand it either, but there are those who feel that way. Most unfortunate.
